    Boring soul samples. Boring lyrics. Boring beats.

    Rap Music is crazy because a 15 year old in 2010 can come and say s*** from 1995 is boring because he only knows Wayne and Kanye and then 10 years later a 15 year old is calling Kanye boring because he only knows Uzi and Carti

    I’m scared to imagine what F***ery will be going on that makes 15 year olds in 2038 say Uzi and Carti are boring lmao

    Yes 808s came after tpain

    Tpain even said 808s is a remake of his album

    But you a Ye stan so you dont know that…

    Yeezus was literally the underground sound at the time too

    no pain albums sounds like 808's & heartbreak
    love Epiphany but nothing on there sounds like what Ye was doing. and yes Wayne and Pain were using autotune before Ye even Snoop.

    Who does op think is original is the real question?

    Y’all are pretty much arguing beat selection vs vocal technique

    Ye took the vocal technique from T Pain
    Subject matter from Cudi
    And beats from 80’s mixed with modern bass/808 at the time

    !https://youtu.be/dQiI6DGzOM8

    This arguably could be on 808s if you hear it in Ye’s voice but of course beats from 05 aren’t gonna sound like beats from 08 just off how fast the club /beat landscape changes between 04-05, 06-07 and then 08 going into 09 (side note which is why it sucks that music in the last ten years has pretty much stayed revolving around trap beats but that’s another thread)

    dont see how these vocals are similar to any of the songs I listed

    dont see how any of those songs verses sound like cudi bars

    yes the beats have heavy 80s influences no one said kanye invented that minimal electro sound, but the overall soundscape he created was dope and innovative at the time

    Tbh, though, I do feel Outkast's, Missy Elliot's, and Pharrell's impact on "alternative rap" gets downplayed because of the narrative centering around Ye post Graduation.

    That sales battle lowkey caused many young rap fans to rewrite history. People think the 90's or early 00's was all gangster rap before College Dropout when that's not really true. In fact, DMX and 50 Cent revived gangster rap if anything. They were both called "The New 2Pac" who were getting rap away from the flashiness of Bad Boy(X) or the poppiness of Ja Rule and Nelly(50).

    Once they both declined, it was inevitable that gangster rap would've fallen off.

    Graduation was really a culmination of what Pharrell & timbo were doing , what kanye already did , and what bands like MGMT were doing but taken to another level of accessibility . I agree that alt rap artists before Kanye don’t get their flowers for shifting the climate. S*** even Tribe’s influence is kinda overlooked , although the quality of their music isn’t

    I don’t see it.

    The T Pain song sound so much like all the RnB that came before it

    808s doesn’t sound dated like that

    And that’s just talking about the vocals

  • Jan 6, 2022

    yes because 808s perfectly encapsulated what was hot in 2008

    mdbtf reflects hip hop in 2010

    and yeezus was the mood in 2013

    name an album like donda in 2021
